Alabama whitewater - Big Scirum Creek, Blount County

Blount county, Joy Road to Locust Fork section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS IV     1 miles
  If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Alabama you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The scenic beauty of Alabama and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are sure to keep
    you coming back for more. This is a very short section so better bring some good walking shoes. There are no other sections to paddle along Big Scirum Creek than the Joy Road to Locust Fork section.
